Articulate and Pilates 6 week term.

Satori BodyCare will be holding a 6 week movement course starting on Tuesday the 26th of September. Each session will be held in the Yoga room for one hour from 6:00pm to 7:00pm.

The Articulate 6 week course is designed to teach you how to systematically increase your mobility with a focus on joint health and function. Each session will build on the previous; by the end of the course participants will have a basic knowledge on how to design a body care movement practice that will help prevent injuries and get the most out of your climbing (or whatever else you are into!) Participants will have access to a private “articulate” resource webpage to support their learning and movement development during the course.

Some of the content covered will include:

- Functional Range Conditioning® techniques such as Controlled Articular Rotations to maintain and increase joint range of motion and health.

- Basic movement patterns to add functional relevance to new ranges of motion.

This course will appeal to anyone that wants to learn the basics of how to create a movement practice that will serve as an adjunct to existing training. Many of the techniques learnt can also be used for preparing joints before training (warming up), pre-habilitation and re-habilitation for minor joint and tissue disfunction.

The 6 week course costs $120 ($132 non-members). Sign up and payment needs to be made in advance to secure a spot. Check in with one of the friendly BlocHaus staff to sign up. If there are any specific questions or concerns please contact Nik at info@satoribodycare.com.au

Pilates is a fantastic way to get fit without loading the joints, so it is great for all ages and levels of abilities. It has unlimited potential to help achieve all physical goals in life such as:- Preventing injury and rehabilitation - for hyper-mobile individuals as well as to increase ranges of movement for tightly restricted individuals

- Great for cross training in all sports

- Eliminating lower back issues – Pilates focuses on core muscles, so it will dramatically improve lower back issues if worked on consistently

- Pre-natal/post-natal health

Fundamental Pilates Matwork is a fun way to get fit and healthy and it can help to strengthen the body to improve performing in climbing and any other forms of exercise. Pilates Matwork focuses on teaching participants the principles of Pilates including:

- Engaging the transverse abdominals, which are the muscles that wrap around the waist to stabilize the lower back, the trunk of the body and improve pelvic stability and strength

- Shoulder stability while getting strength in a better range of movements

- Core strength and stability

- Pelvic floor activation

The classes will continue to build the Pilates Matwork foundation repertoire and has a group class size of max 10 participants. There is a focus on flow of each movement and gradual progressions of the exercises. Please wear comfortable exercise clothes and bring water for hydration. All equipment is provided and shoes are not worn during the class.
